List of diplomatic missions in Hong Kong
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from List of countries with consulates in Hong Kong)
This is a list of diplomatic missions in Hong Kong. As at January 2008, there are 57 consulates-general and 57 consulates (including those represented by honorary consuls, denoted by asterisks (*)), and 5 officially recognised bodies in the territory.[1]
51 consulates-general and 7 honorary consulates in Hong Kong are also accredited to Macau (as at 2006, denoted by hash signs (#)). There are 10 honorary consulates in Macau, of which 2 are subordinate to the consulates-general in Hong Kong.[2]
Due to Hong Kong's special status, some consuls-general in Hong Kong have the rank of ambassadors, such as the consuls-general of Brazil,[3] Japan,[4] the Philippines[5] and Saudi Arabia,[6] while some have served elsewhere as ambassadors or high commissioners before serving in Hong Kong, e.g., the consuls-general of Australia,[7] Canada,[8] Israel,[9] the Netherlands,[10] the United Kingdom[11] and the United States.[12]
